Title: The Sky and the Dawn and the Sun
Post by: RoAR on May 14, 2011, 11:32AM
I have a question for anyone who owns The Greatest Journey album.
Can someone tell me if the version of "The Sky and the Dawn and the Sun" is the same version that's on A New Journey?
I have The Greatest Journey piano book and I saw that it had two extra verses:
Now let the day begin
Now every dancer spin
Step-in and step-out again

Let every bell to ring
Trumpet and violin (which doesn't rhyme btw :P)
Let every chorus sing

This being my favorite CW song, I'd like to know if there's a version that records these two verses.
Thanks!

The second verse was added in during the "Isle of Hope" tour. The version on TGJ is without Hayley. Chloë is singing Hayley's part in TGJ

The second verse was added for the first tour in 2005 ;) . I have heard Deirdre on it :)
There are some versions in Youtube :

Ok, now let me get this straight. TGJ does not have the extra verses because they were added later, but it's still different because they rerecorded it without Hayley. Is that right?

I thought SDS was not done by CW until Slane Castle which was recorded in 2006. The 2 vid links that Dinozzzo put up show Hayley, Lisa, Chloë, Orla, & Mairead in the first one and Lisa, Chloë, Mairead, Alex, & Lynn in the second. I'm abit confused. :)

They did SDS on tour before they recorded ANJ. I heard it in March 2006 in Raleigh; the ANJ DVD and CD weren't recorded until August of that year. The extra verses have been there from the beginning, but due to time constraints on the CDs, the song has never been recorded that way.

Gotcha! Thanks! I still wish they would record the whole thing...

I know! The harmonies on the 2nd verse are really cool!

I totally agree.  I really hope they do record it someday.

Maybe they could make it as a bonus track on iTunes or something. Then they wouldn't have to worry about disc space.

That would be a great idea!  And they could do the same for the other songs they extend for the tour (Fields of Gold, Orinoco Flow, Finale/Mo Ghile Mear, etc lol).  Maybe in the future whenever they get time (because they're really busy ladies lol).

Well maybe they could record them live. Of course maybe that's really difficult or something...

That would be awesome.  Normally I don't like live recordings because the screaming audience hurts my ears and I can't hear the music but when Celtic Woman does live recordings, the audience is quiet and the quality is amazing!!!  :)

I totally agree on the whole "annoying audience" thing. That's why I try to avoid live recordings, but I think CW fans have kind of figured out that you're supposed to listen, not scream, in the middle of a song.  ;) The only issue I've had with a live CW recording was in the Contradiction where everyone starts clapping and then randomly stops. Seriously? If you're going to clap at least keep it up until the end of the song!

The only bad thing about extending SDS is that it makes it kind of long. But still love it!

The more Sky/Dawn/Sun, the merrier, I think.  :)  Best show-opening song ever.
